Pacom Unison
This integration allows for automatic video retrieval in case of an alarm or event for rapid visual alarm verification. Video can be recorded and played/paused which facilitates analysis of any alarm or event that has occurred in Unison. Two way audio can also be streamed between the video device and Unison (listen-in/microphone). Operators are able to manage the cameras in order to view the desired position and angle using the PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) function and select preset positions.
Requirements
Unison Gateway Connector feature
This allows Unison and Mirasys VMS “talk” together to fetch devices etc.
Web App Spotter Rest API feature
This allows Unison control Mirasys Spotter layouts
Configuration
First you need configure Mirasys Gateway and Spotter softwares until you can use Unison integration.
When these are done you can add Mirasys VMS to Unison system.
Configuring Mirasys Gateway
Stop DVMSGatewayService under Windows Services
Go to Gateway installation folder
Open file ServiceLauncher.exe.config using example Notepad++
Find line
CODE<add key=”GatewayServerPort” value=”9000” />
Change this port value to example 9010
Port need to change because Unison use port 9000 for own system
Before changing port check that this port is free to use
Save file
Start DVMSGatewayService under Windows Services
Configuring Mirasys Spotter
Run Spotter Run As Administrator
Go to File → Settings → Advanced tab
Enable Public Web Api

Other information
Unison server can send messages via XML or ASCII format. Mirasys VMS can get these via Text Channel.
There is then option to build UDD file which generate these messages as trigger events on VMS side and these can be used to trigger alarm event and record material.
Troubleshooting
Communication error in Unison system
Check that you are using correct GUID for Gateway and Spotter
Check that ports are opened that Unison can make connection to VMS server and Spotter
